Ten years ago, Huang had the title of "Master of Lingnan Legendary Art". Of course, there are many other reputations, most of which are related to the legend of Huang. And what is the legend of Huang? Some friends said that this is related to Huang's reading and growth experience, such as Huang Da University's advanced placement exam; From primary school to university as a class cadre; Writing and selling couplets began in primary school, and these experiences are legendary. A friend said that this legend is related to Huang's innovation in "New China Singing Method". He named the new singing method of "making foreign things serve China, combining Chinese and Western, making the past serve the present" after the founding of New China, and put it into practice and popularization. How "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers", dare to be the first legend in the world. Some friends say that the legend of Huang is related to Huang's research and innovation in poetry. As a young age after 70, few people have written thousands of classical poems. Moreover, most of Huang's poems have swept away the style of "mourning for one's loved ones" and "abandoning one's armor and returning to the fields", and are full of great kindness and great beauty, which is positive. Some friends even said that this "legend" may be related to Huang's creation of vocal works of more than 40 poems in 2009 and his touring performances in various places. Among classmates, relatives, friends and colleagues, Huang is not only a person with stories, but also an absolutely legendary person. The "legend" mentioned by the above friends is far from the "legend" that Huang was known as a master of art in those days. The author thinks that Huang's reputation as "the legendary master of Lingnan art" was related to his experience and achievements, but what really shocked the media, audience and friends was his "special creation" and "special temperament" in calligraphy.
Huang started calligraphy very early, and "devoted as much time as music" (Huang Yu). He became a self-taught man, mainly learning from the ancients and predecessors. After 2000, he began to explore and practice "hanging paper and flying words" and "left-handed calligraphy". In 2007, he put the calligraphy performance of "hanging paper and flying words" on the stage. I remember it was probably the summer of 2009, and it was yellow. 20 10 and 20 1 1, he created 500 dragon paintings and held a national exhibition tour, which really made Huang's Legend famous all over the country and spread like wildfire. After all, there are 500 different ways to write the word "dragon", which is unprecedented, not to mention Huang's "dragon map". Almost every picture is bigger than the door. How many Chinese characters of this size have been written by ancient people and modern people? Why did a Legend win? If creating 500 Zhang Long pictures is not a "legendary artist", please see "The Big Screen":
1. Those who dare to give "lessons" to the chairman of the book association are worthy of being "legendary masters of art". Calligraphy exhibitions were held in various places in his early years. Why? He is called a "master" in his thirties. What is his origin? What is endorsement? "It is better to sit on the ground than to be a dog." Holding calligraphy exhibitions in many places is stressful, and the main pressure usually comes from the local calligraphy association and the so-called "authority". I remember that once Huang's "Dragon Map" national tour was held in a city, and the leaders of relevant departments and the local Federation of Literary and Art Circles and Calligraphers Association were invited to attend the opening ceremony. At the opening ceremony, XXX, chairman of the Calligraphers Association, spoke freely, took the lead in publicly criticizing and denying Huang's "left-handed calligraphy" (writing from left to right), and pretended to consult Huang modestly. Other calligraphers attending the meeting were very radical. They "commented" on Huang's calligraphy in public and "talked about things" in the program with the title of "Lingnan legendary artist". At the opening ceremony, Huang taught the history and art of China's 5,000-year-old calligraphy to the chairman of the Provincial Calligraphy Association and calligraphers. First of all, Huang asked the chairman of the Calligraphy Association and the calligraphers present, "Why did the ancients write from right to left?" Secondly, Huang asked all calligraphers, how many people generally use inkstone to grind ink to write? How many people read books or from right to left? Huang once again asked everyone, "What is a book association? How many calligraphers were the chairman of the book association in ancient times? " With Chairman Mao's inscription "Serving the People", Huang answered all questions about the artistic inheritance and innovation of China's calligraphy for 5,000 years, which made the audience applaud frequently and the atmosphere changed from gunpowder to champagne. This requires talent and courage, and also needs to reverse Gan Kun's language art.
2. Those who can give lectures to doctoral tutors of calligraphy are called "legendary masters of art". In the early years, Huang was still a young man in his early 30 s and under 40 years old. The name of "master" that everyone respected could only be "deference is better than obedience". However, he is always questioned and ridiculed on some occasions, because Huang is not a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts, nor an expert of a calligraphy association, and it is particularly easy to provoke so-called "experts in the industry" and "academic authority". On one occasion, Huang and a doctoral supervisor of calligraphy in a university were invited to be the judges of a calligraphy competition. At the comment site, the doctoral supervisor advocated the elimination of a certain entry, pointing to this work and saying: "This is written like Mao (two words are omitted here), and the Jianghu flavor is too strong. Mao's calligraphy lacks the basis of copying. They are all daring, unruly and lawless. . . . . . "When it was Huang's turn to express his opinions, Huang suggested that the work should be selected, and he was ready to tell the reasons for the selection. However, before Huang began to speak, he was immediately opposed by the doctoral supervisor. He thinks he is the chairman of the jury and is responsible for the competition. Dinner time has passed, and leaders are waiting there. He advised Huang not to choose his own style according to his own style. Members of the organizing committee quickly introduced to Huang who was the "legendary master of art" of the doctoral tutor. After listening to the introduction, the doctoral supervisor's spirit was greatly boosted, and he immediately turned his head to Huang and asked Huang what a "master's degree" was. Huang answered unhurriedly, as if he were giving everyone a lesson. Huang said that there were various definitions of "master" in the past. Today, in order to facilitate everyone to understand what a "master" is, my understanding is "more virtuous than ordinary teachers; Greater than the research results of postdoctoral researchers; Not just professors; There are more than doctoral supervisors, and such talents are worthy of being called masters. Chairman Mao is a master above the master. His calligraphy is not without copying foundation, and his pen is not disorganized and lawless as some people say. On the contrary, anyone who has studied Chairman Mao's calligraphy art knows that Chairman Mao's calligraphy has a copy basis and strict rules. In some of Chairman Mao's works, except for a certain word, the handwriting and structure are the same, such as The Long March of Seven Laws and Loushanguan, which shows that Chairman Mao can at least accurately copy his previous works, so why does Chairman Mao have to express the same works in this way? It is because, from the perspective of composition, Chairman Mao has Sun Tzu's Art of War, which he is familiar with. The advantage of the entries just now is that they dare to create on the basis of calligraphers of past dynasties (including Chairman Mao), and they are free to play and be natural and unrestrained, instead of being slaves and copywriters of "like someone" and "a certain body". It is more important to learn from the ancients and be yourself.
3. People who are willing to express the confidence of the country and the nation with art and care about the fate of mankind are called "legendary masters of art". Huang named a new singing style formed in the period of New China as "New China Singing Style" instead of "Yellow Singing Style". Huang has no objection to students singing foreign works in vocal music teaching, but he stressed that as a China native, they must sing their native language works well, otherwise singing some works that they don't even know the meaning of, must be deceiving themselves, worshipping foreign things, forgetting their ancestors and ancestors, and deceiving the audience. Why did Huang take the trouble to compose music for China's ancient poems (including The Book of Songs)? Why should we creatively create 500 Zhang Long maps? Why did Huang create "China Baifu", study "China Fuxue" and launch "Global Fuxue Plan"? All this is closely related to Huang's strong patriotic feelings and broad loving feelings. 20 16 read Huang's new year's day express;
Every day brings a new look, driving tigers and dancing dragons.
There are 200 ceremonies in Guo Xiang and 3000 good fruits in Huatian.
Every flower begins, and every generation is fresh.
The beginning of the story of human destiny benefits the world.
20 16 read another poem written in Suixi, my hometown:
Young people are determined to go everywhere, and great achievements prove that love is boundless.
The tide in Beiyue flows from now to the future, and the soup in the south is steamed.
Blessed life is shared with red soil, and good deeds are in Suixi country.
People call me the land of mulberries, the hometown of dragons in the world of lion awakening.
Some people say that Huang created the Dragon Map in response to the call to realize the great rejuvenation of the nation. "China Baifu" was founded in response to the call of the United Nations to designate March 20th as "Global Happiness Day" every year. Launching the "Global Blessing Project" is a great measure to respond to "the construction of the same body of human destiny". How can such an artist not be legendary?
The "master" is recognized by the people, not selected by any organization, let alone boasted. Huang has been a controversial figure since he was a child. Although Huang's academic performance has always been among the best, and he is also a class cadre, many teachers are full of praise for Huang in almost every class. At the same time, some teachers "have different opinions" about Huang, thinking that Huang is not very disciplined. In art, Huang certainly makes many people hold different opinions because he doesn't obey the rules. For example, some associations have always invited Huang to fill out a form to apply for membership, but Huang declined, so that Huang is not a member of any art association so far, which is often criticized. Someone asked Huang: How can you be called a calligrapher and a master if you are not from the National Association or the Provincial Association? Huang Wentai asked each other in turn: Which association are Wang Xizhi, Huai Su, Su Dongpo, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fei, Zhao Mengfu, Dong Qichang and Wang Duo? Does not joining any association affect their existence as calligraphers? Calligraphers and masters are not awarded by an association or a university, but recognized by the people. "History is written by the people," people say what kind of person you are. Don't flatter yourself. People who are critical of Huang's artistic achievements are mostly out of ignorance of Huang's artistic achievements and growth experience, or out of envy, jealousy and hatred. Anyone who knows Huang's poetry, music and calligraphy (there are many aspects, but not too many) and knows that Huang has made in-depth research and great efforts on Chinese excellent traditional culture and red culture, you will surely exclaim the "legend" of this legendary master.
Today, we will talk about Huang's calligraphy art. Of course, apart from the "legend" of Huang's art, we should also talk about words and books to see what is special about Huang's calligraphy. This is also the value of Huang calligraphy. Please look at the "big screen":
Huang's calligraphy has gone through several stages in terms of the time development of his works:
The first stage (before the age of 30): Just walk. This is usually the "default" standard for becoming a calligrapher. The artistic level of calligraphy should be compared vertically (with calligraphers in different historical periods) and horizontally (with contemporary calligraphers), with "beauty" as the core and center, inheritance and innovation as the wings, drawing on the strengths of others and achieving their own beauty (here "beauty" cannot be replaced by "novelty" and "strangeness"). Huang's calligraphy, at first, was a painting-by-painting study, and both of them went through the stage of catching up with each other. Just like the "left-handed calligraphy" introduced earlier, Huang can write right-handed calligraphy in addition to "left-handed calligraphy". You can write on the table, Huang can; You can write on the ground, so Huang Can Wen Tai; You can write on the wall, so Huang Can Wen Tai.
The second stage (before the age of 35): people understand me better. As the saying goes, if you don't know the goods, you are afraid to shop around. Calligraphy appreciation will definitely be done, and there must be a comparison. Huang's calligraphy is not afraid to compare with his peers or predecessors. There is a saying in the industry that calligraphy works are outside the book. What does this mean? In other words, calligraphy depends not only on brushwork and composition, but also on the calligrapher's personal accomplishment and knowledge. It is better to know calligraphy than to know calligraphy. After all, "law is not as good as art, and art is not as good as Tao." The achievement of Huang's calligraphy is that Huang himself is almost an all-rounder Needless to say, he is active in performance, teaching, planning, public welfare and other fields. And he has made great achievements in China's excellent traditional culture. He also wrote China Fu Xue, which is like a person. Liu Xizai once said in "An Outline of Arts and Literature": "Books are like books. If you study, if you are talented, if you are ambitious, in short, if you are a person. "
The third stage (before the age of 40): no one has me. There are 500 ways to write a Chinese character "dragon", which is beyond doubt. This is a record broken by predecessors, and almost every word is as high as people, which is rare in history. In addition, Huang also created 100 paintings of "Fu" in different fonts, expressing various meanings of "Fu" through gods. Although Bai Yong's seal script has existed, Huang's "seal script" is a combination of seal script, capital script, grass script, official script and line script, which is endowed with different symbolic meanings. This can be described as Huang's breakthrough and transcendence in "law". Technically, Huang explored and practiced "flying characters on paper", put this calligraphy creation on the stage and performed it on the spot, and made a breakthrough in skills and forms. In order to understand Huang's calligraphy creation more easily, let's share with you a poem entitled "Talking about Cinnabar Calligraphy in Winter" written by Huang: "On the fifteenth day of the first month, I will benefit the map, welcome Fu You and be happy. Elephants are infinitely relaxed and have a special macro way. I was born to fulfill my sacred mission and realize my magical power. Calligraphy under the shape is calligraphy, and calligraphy under the shape is cinnabar. "
Huang's calligraphy is legendary because of its legend. As early as 20 years ago, it has been widely collected by all walks of life, which has high collection value and will become more and more precious in the future. Huang's calligraphy has not been manipulated by market traders at present, but is known by some friends and acquaintances for three reasons. First, most of Huang's poems, music and calligraphy works have not been officially published; Second, because of all kinds of commercial speculation that Huang actively declined; Thirdly, Huang used various pen names in his previous works, such as Honggen, Jigong,,, and Qiyunju, among which Qiyunju is more. Collection is in the ascendant in China, and with the economic transformation, it will become the driving force for the cultural (creative) industry to promote the revival of Chinese culture. At any time, there will be some people who are "invisible, contemptuous, incomprehensible and unable to keep up". The author believes that "China in the future is a world of upright, just and positive people." The value of calligraphy is not reflected in who has a high status, who is a master of learning and who is an online celebrity, but in who is the spokesperson of "a person with awareness, mindfulness and positive energy" and who has a more legendary story.
